HOW NKTTIE CURTIS AND SANDY CARTER MET THxJ

Saturday afternoon, as stated in Saturdays
STAR three fishermen found the dead body
OF Nettie Curtis, young colored woman,
floating In the river OF the foot OF 9Th
street, and later in the day it was re-
moved to the morgue, where 1t was viewed by the
coroner. When the body was found foul play was
suspected, and Of1cer Block detailed TO 1nves-
tlgate the case. He learned that Friday night the
deceased and a friend, named Martha Merchant
made an engagement to meet sandy Carter,
young colored man. Sandy was not punctual and
the girls met two other young men, Noke Styles
and ChaS. Coleman, with whom they walked to
Jacksons lumber wharf, at the foot Of 9Th street.
They were sitting on pile OF lumber next to the
river when Carter came along. He ratified one OF
the boards which frightened Nettie and she either
fell or jumped into the river. Sandy TO the edge
OF the wharf and seeing that Nettie had gone over
board jumped in after her. Presently those on the
wharf heard Nettte say "Let CO." That was the
last heard OF them until Nettie's body was found.
Carriers hat has since been picked up in the river.
Coroner Patterson heard statements OF the parties
who were present at the time and gave q certt q.
cate OF accidental death.

doned for taking q drop too much In an
age when everybody drank literally and
drunkenness was regarded by the entire
community as a venial offence. Fortu-
nately all this has passed away until in
the county districts the use Of intoxicants
has become the exception rather than the
rule, except in localities where newly
arrived foreigners predominant. Even
the beer drinking Is chiefly confined TO
the cities and towns where those who
have brought their drinking customs
from foreign countries have chiefly con.
gregated.
A word or two may not be amiss by
way OF comparison OF the amount Of
alcoholic beverages consumed In this
country and in Europe. The consump-
tion OF distilled spirits In the United
Kingdom for 1886 was 1.01 gallons per
capita, as against 1.24 gallons In tho
United States; of wine 81 gallons, as
against .3S gallons here. and Of beer
32:D gallons, as against II. IS gallons in
this country. Il will thus be seer that
while the average Brlusher consumes a
trifie less whisky and wine than the
average American he swallows nearly
three times as much beer. The average
Frcnchman drinks 1.24 gallons of spirits
annually. or exactly the same amount
swallowed by the average American, and
from 90 to 80 gallons Of wine according
as the vintage is plentiful or a partial
failure. The average German In his
native country drinks LA gallons of
spirits and 23.1 10 gallons of beer or n
trife more than twice that consumed by
the average American. These figures
show the Englishman to be the greatest
beer guzzler In the world and the Ger.
man second. The French drink the
most wine followed closely by the Ital-
